Andrew Lambert provides a rigorous historical analysis of the ill-fated 1845 Franklin Expedition, which sought to navigate the Northwest Passage. By examining the technological, political, and cultural contexts of the Victorian era, the author reconstructs the final voyage of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror to explain the catastrophic loss of the crew and the subsequent search efforts.
